Hi There,
I know that these two hotels are not the top of the heap but I am going in January (convention time) and am on a budget. Which one is better for the price? I have found them for about 65 a night. We probably won't spend much time there but want a clean room with no problems. I see that the Imperial is closer to the middle of the strip than the Sahara but I am not sure if that makes it any better. I checked some of teh other hotels suggested for good value and the Monte Carlo is at least 100 more for a four night stay.
Thanks
Chris

Check out barbarycoast.com first, then go with the Imperial Palace for the great location if it's less $.

Family friends stayed at the Imperial Palace last weekend for a wedding in my family and they said the rooms were adequate and clean. They also loved the location because it was right across the street from Caesar's where the wedding was held. It really is in an excellent location.

sorry that's barbarycoastcasino.com

The Imperial Palace is a MUCH better location than Sahara. I'd go with it.

Hmm...lesser of 2 evils... I'd pick IP but don't eat anything there. If you can get Barbary Coast for a decent rate, stay there for sure.

I stayed at the IP a few years ago and rooms were fine. Location is MUCH better than Sahara. Of the two, I'd definitely choose the IP.

IP location is much better, you can walk to many attractions, it's absolutely safe at night.
